About Tara

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 12 years of experience, Tara Wojtkunski supports people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and LGBT-related concerns. She also works with clients managing bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Tara’s approach draws on several practical therapies to help people find clearer ways to cope and make decisions.

Tara uses straightforward conversation and active listening to understand what matters to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are available for managing strong emotions and reducing self-harm risk.

Sessions emphasize plain talk and practical tools. Clients can expect help noticing thoughts and feelings, testing small behavioral changes, and practicing skills between sessions. The work often focuses on immediate problems like stress at work, relationship conflict, or managing mood symptoms.

Tara also supports people dealing with gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related issues, guilt and shame, and self-esteem concerns. She has experience assisting people with intellectual or visual impairments and with workplace-related stress. Existential therapy is used when clients want to talk about meaning, values, and life purpose.

Any person considering therapy is invited to complete the intake steps and schedule a first meeting. Tara asks about goals and priorities early so sessions can focus on what matters most to the client. The aim is clearer choices and manageable steps forward.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It is often used when someone wants to make life changes despite ongoing anxiety or mood symptoms.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful beliefs and try alternative actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and work stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who experience intense emotions or self-harm urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and DBT skills over time rather than sticking to one single method.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, limit travel time, or have shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between meetings and into everyday life.
